Noticing orange or yellow tones creeping into your blonde hair? Those brassy hues (think dull yellow or an orange cast) can make even the freshest blonde look faded.
Brassiness happens to every blonde, whether your color is natural or salon-treated. After a few washes, heat styling, or sun exposure, the cool, bright tones you love can shift into warmer shades.
The good news? It’s completely fixable. With the right at-home routine and a few smart product choices, you can bring your blonde back to its bright, salon-fresh glory.
Brassy hair refers to the unwanted warm tones, yellow, orange, or even reddish hues, that can appear in blonde hair as the color fades. Instead of a cool, ashy, or neutral blonde, brassy hair takes on a yellow (pale gold), orange (coppery), or red (rusty) cast.
These tones often appear a few weeks after coloring or lightening, especially when hair is exposed to sunlight, heat styling, or mineral-heavy water.
